Earnings Scheduled For February 10, 2025

Despite inflation worries, Americans are expected to increase their Super Bowl spending, according to a recent report. However, more fans are planning to cut back on their expenses for the big game.
What Happened: A study by LendingTree found that 75% of Americans plan to watch the Super Bowl. However, 31% of these viewers intend to cut back on their Super Bowl spending compared to last year, <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/americans-super-bowl-spending-rise-despite-inflation-worries?ref=biztoc.com">reported</a> Fox Business. This is a notable jump from the 19% who plan to increase their budget. Meanwhile, 50% of respondents expect their spending to remain unchanged.
Those planning to spend on Super Bowl festivities expect to spend an average of $142, marking a 22% increase from last year&#8217;s $116. The main expenses include food, beverages, and fan gear.
Matt Schulz, chief credit analyst&nbsp;at LendingTree stated, &#8220;Even though more people are&nbsp;saying they&#8217;re going to spend&nbsp;less, the average amount for&nbsp;people who are going to&nbsp;spend was up fairly significantly.&#8221;
The report also highlighted that 41% of Super Bowl viewers intend to place bets on the game. Most of these bettors plan to wager smaller amounts, with only 41% expecting to bet $100 or more.

Why It Matters:&nbsp;The high cost of Super Bowl ads was a concern for many viewers. A Benzinga poll also revealed that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43563633/exclusive-is-super-bowl-7m-cost-worth-it-61-say-this-while-18-admit-to-looking-up-companies-after-last-years-nfl-">61% of viewers didn&#8217;t believe</a> the high cost of these ads was worth it. LendingTree&#8217;s findings coincide with a separate study by the Bank of America Institute, which revealed that Americans&#8217; spending on spectator sports hit a record high in 2024.
The Super Bowl event of Sunday saw a host of celebrity-packed commercials, with over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/02/43583058/super-bowl-ads-go-all-in-on-ai-stars-and-8m-price-tags-elon-musk-shared-this-advert-with-his-followers">10 spots costing</a> advertisers $8 million each. President Donald Trump made history as the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl. Besides the traditional sponsors, this year&#8217;s commercials attracted tech companies like Alphabet Inc.

Americans To Spend Big On Super Bowl, 22% Surge From Last Year Likely Despite Inflation Worries: Report

Billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban recently expressed his views on Elon Musk&#8216;s Department Of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, advocating for more transparency and suggesting the inclusion of Democrats for oversight.
What Happened: Cuban on Monday reiterated his long-standing stance on government transparency, stating, &#8220;If you have nothing to hide, hide nothing.&#8221; 
Cuban&#8217;s post was a response to a resurfaced 2017 video shared by an X user, where the billionaire called for cutting the government's size by at least one-third and enhancing its efficiency—an idea that also underpins Trump&#8217;s newly established department, now led by Musk.
Cuban said, he &#8220;Still stand by it.&#8221;
challenging Musk&#8217;s DOGE initiative, which has faced criticism for its lack of transparency, Cuban suggested that Musk invite Democrats to work with his DOGE teams to provide a clearer picture of the project&#8217;s operations.

This post follows Cuban&#8217;s previous criticisms of the Tesla Inc CEO&#8217;s influence on the government and his control over free speech. He has also expressed concerns about Musk&#8217;s motivations and intentions.

Why It Matters: Cuban&#8217;s post comes amid ongoing legal challenges claiming that DOGE fails to comply with federal transparency regulations. His call for more transparency and diverse oversight could potentially impact the public&#8217;s perception of DOGE and its operations. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/02/43554357/mark-cuban-calls-out-elon-musks-growing-influence-under-trump-on-a-mission-to-make-himself-above-and-beyond-the-president-of-the-united-states">Cuban has previously questioned Musk&#8217;s growing influence</a> and his control over free speech.
Interestingly, Cuban, a long-time Trump critic, has also shown interest in launching his meme coin with proceeds going to the U.S. Treasury to reduce the national debt. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/25/02/43515728/mark-cuban-mocks-meme-coins-but-pitches-one-to-cut-u-s-debt-if-its-a-grift-make-it-a-grift-to-benefit-all-americans">Cuban&#8217;s potential meme coin</a>&nbsp;could offer a contrast to the current DOGE initiative and its transparency issues.
Meanwhile, in a pre-Super Bowl interview, President Donald Trump expressed his trust in Elon Musk and highlighted that Musk's influence is particularly noteworthy since he is &#8216;not gaining anything&#8217; from the position.

Mark Cuban Says He Backs Government Efficiency, But Questions Elon Musk's DOGE Initiative's Transparency: 'If You Have Nothing to Hide, Hide Nothing'

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk and Vice President of Finance Sendil Palani addressed allegations of the EV company evading taxes in posts on X over the weekend. The company did not evade tax but carried it forward as per an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provision, they said.
What Happened: Musk called for tax reform in a post on social media X on Saturday, claiming there are too many &#8220;loopholes.&#8221; Following the post, several X users noted that his EV company Tesla did not pay federal income tax for several years, including in 2024.
&#8220;Tesla losses were high for many years, so carry forward. Super majority of profit is from production and sales overseas, not US. But the point I am making IS that we need tax reform!,&#8221; Musk wrote in response to the allegations.

Tesla VP of Finance Palani also took to X to address the claims.
&#8220;Tesla&#8217;s income taxes are not an example of fraud. Tesla complies with all tax regulations in all of the regions of the world in which we operate,&#8221; Palani said.
&#8220;Details about 2024 Income Taxes were disclosed to last month in our 10-K (filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission). Notably &#8211; we outline our net operating loss carry-forwards, which result from the fact that Tesla has been unprofitable for the significant majority of its 20+ year history,&#8221; he said, while urging everyone to not look at any one recent year in isolation for details on the company&#8217;s finances.

The company reported a net income of $721 million for 2020 and in 2024, this rose to $7.09 billion. In 2023, Tesla&#8217;s net income attributable to shareholders was nearly $15 billion. 
For the full-year 2024, Tesla recorded total revenue of $97.69 billion, marking a growth of about 1% from the year before, despite a 6% drop in automotive revenues which was offset by a rise in revenue from the company&#8217;s energy generation and storage segment.

Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX and Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), has publicly dismissed the idea of acquiring the widely-used short-video app, TikTok. On Jan. 19, the U.S. President, Donald Trump signed an executive order to postpone the enforcement of a ban on the Chinese short-video app.
What Happened: Musk&#8217;s comments were made in late January and released online by The WELT Group,&nbsp;a division of&nbsp;German media company Axel Springer&nbsp;SE, on&nbsp;Saturday. Musk joined a summit hosted by the group via video, where he stated, &#8220;I&nbsp;have not put in a&nbsp;bid for TikTok.&#8221;

<figcaption class="wp-element-caption"> These comments were made a week after U.S. President Donald Trump signaled openness to Musk purchasing the app, which is owned by the Chinese company ByteDance. However, Musk admitted he was unfamiliar with the app's format and stated he had no intentions of acquiring it. &#8220;I&#8217;m not eager to buy TikTok. I rarely acquire companies,&#8221; Musk remarked. The Tesla Founder also clarified that he likes to build companies from scratch but acquiring Twitter, now called X, was an &#8216;important and productive step&#8217; to preserve the freedom of speech in America and the world at large. While the enforcement of the ban on the short-video app has been delayed, Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) and Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) have yet to restore TikTok to their app stores. However, TikTok announced on Friday that U.S. Android users can now download and access the app via package kits available on its website, bypassing the restrictions. Trump has stated that he is in discussions with multiple parties regarding the potential purchase of TikTok and expects a decision on the app&#8217;s future later this month. The President ordered a ban on the short video app amid national security concerns. Currently, the app has approximately 170 million users in the U.S. SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/02/43511395/trump-pushes-for-tiktok-deal-china-could-oblige-if-it-werent-for-those-tariffs-heres-what-we-know">Trump Pushes For TikTok Deal, China Could Oblige If It Weren&#8217;t For Those Tariffs — Here&#8217;s What We Know</a> Why It Matters: The idea of Musk acquiring TikTok first <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/25/01/42965533/elon-musk-emerges-as-potential-tiktok-us-buyer-as-ban-deadline-looms-company-terms-it-pure-fiction">emerged in mid-January</a>, when Chinese officials considered Musk as a potential buyer for TikTok&#8217;s U.S. operations.

Elon Musk Shuts Down TikTok Buyout Rumors, Says He Prefers To Build Companies From Scratch: 'I Rarely Acquire Companies'

The CNN Money Fear and Greed index showed a decline in the overall market sentiment, while the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Friday.
U.S. stocks settled lower on Friday, with the Dow Jones index dipping more than 400 points as investors digested the jobs report for January.
Wall Street also recorded losses last week as renewed fears over inflation and trade tariffs eroded risk appetite. Investor uncertainty grew following President Donald Trump&#8217;s announcement that ‘reciprocal tariffs' would take effect next week.
The University of Michigan&#8217;s consumer sentiment survey revealed an &#8220;unusually large&#8221; spike in inflation expectations. The one-year inflation outlook surged by a full percentage point to 4.3%, marking its highest level since November 2023.
On the macro front, February's jobs report revealed a mixed outcome, with employment growth slowing down more than expected, yet unemployment fell more than expected, and wages surged more than expected.
Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) reported better-than-expected earnings and sales results for its fourth quarter after the market close Thursday. However, the company said it sees first-quarter net sales to come in a range of $151 billion to $155.5 billion, up 5% to 9% year-over-year, down from market estimates of $158.5 billion.
All sectors on the S&amp;P 500 closed on a negative note, with communication services, consumer discretionary, and materials stocks recording losses on Friday.
The Dow Jones closed lower by over 444 points to 44,303.40 on Friday. The S&amp;P 500 fell 0.95% to 6,025.99, while the Nasdaq Composite dipped 1.36% at 19,523.40 during Friday's session.
Investors are awaiting earnings results from McDonald&#8217;s Corporation (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MCD#NYSE">MCD</a>), ON Semiconductor Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ON#NASDAQ">ON</a>), and Rockwell Automation, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ROK#NYSE">ROK</a>) today.
What is CNN Business Fear &amp; Greed Index?
At a current reading of 39.3, the index remained in the &#8220;Fear&#8221; zone on Friday, versus a prior reading of 44.3.
The Fear &amp; Greed Index is a measure of the current market sentiment. It is based on the premise that higher fear exerts pressure on stock prices, while higher greed has the opposite effect. The index is calculated based on seven equal-weighted indicators. The index ranges from 0 to 100, where 0 represents maximum fear and 100 signals maximum greediness.

Alibaba Shares Surge Ahead Of Q3 Earnings As AI Advances Boost Chinese Tech Stocks

President Donald Trump announced on Monday he has directed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to cease penny production, following recent criticism of the coin&#8217;s costly manufacturing process.
What Happened: &#8220;For far too long the United States has minted pennies which literally cost us more than 2 cents,&#8221; Trump posted on social media. &#8220;This is so wasteful! I have instructed my Secretary of the US Treasury to stop producing new pennies. Let&#8217;s rip the waste out of our great nations budget, even if it&#8217;s a penny at a time.&#8221;
<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img decoding="async" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/10012729/Screenshot-2025-02-10-at-11.55.45%E2%80%AFAM-1024x414.png" alt="" class="wp-image-773756" style="width:760px;height:auto" /></figure>
The decision comes after Elon Musk&#8216;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) highlighted the economic inefficiency of penny production last month. According to DOGE, the U.S. Mint <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43152917/elon-musk-led-doge-targets-us-penny-over-179m-annual-production-cost">spent $179 million in taxpayer funds</a> during the fiscal year 2023 to produce 4.5 billion pennies, with each coin costing 3.07 cents to manufacture – more than triple its face value.

Why It Matters: The penny&#8217;s composition of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper plating contributes to its high production costs, with parts and labor accounting for 88% of manufacturing expenses across four U.S. Mint facilities. The coin represents approximately 40% of total coin <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/01/43152917/elon-musk-led-doge-targets-us-penny-over-179m-annual-production-cost">circulation in the United States</a>.
The move aligns with actions taken by other nations, including Canada and the United Kingdom, which have already eliminated their lowest-denomination coins. If implemented, the nickel would become America&#8217;s lowest-value coin in circulation.
This latest development adds momentum to a long-running debate about the penny&#8217;s future. In 2013, the Brookings Institution advocated for discontinuing both penny and nickel production, <a href="https://www.brookings.edu/articles/lets-drop-pennies-and-nickels-too-while-were-at-it/">suggesting</a> broader reform of U.S. coinage.

Trump Orders Scott Bessent To 'Rip The Waste Out,' Ends Penny Production After Elon Musk's DOGE Report

Hank Azaria, the iconic voice behind some of "The Simpsons" most beloved characters, put artificial intelligence to the test to see if it could accurately replicate his voice—and the results left much to be desired.
What Happened: In an experiment with the New York Times, Azaria recorded samples of his voice, which were then fed into an AI system to generate artificial versions of his signature characters, including Moe Szyslak, the bartender.
The AI-generated voices, however, failed to capture the depth, nuance, and soul of his performances. "It felt like what it was, which was just a vocal version of printed text," Azaria noted after hearing an AI-generated imitation of himself.

Jackson, Serena Williams, And SZA Join The Spectacle</a>
When tested with Moe the bartender's voice, the AI&#8217;s attempt was even further off the mark. "It doesn't have enough gravel in it," Azaria explained. "And it's missing a lot of sounds that Moe should make."
Azaria also demonstrated how voice acting is more than just vocal delivery—it's a full-body performance. To prove his point, he acted out running dialogue while physically moving, showing how breath control and motion affect the realism of a character's voice.

</div>
</figure>
Why It&#8217;s Important: The exploration of AI in voice acting by Azaria comes amid growing interest in AI&#8217;s ability to mimic celebrity voices.
Last year, Meta Platforms Inc. unveiled plans to enable its AI chatbot to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40996713/metas-ai-chatbot-to-mimic-voices-of-celebrities-like-judi-dench-and-john-cena-heres-what-mark-zucker">replicate the voices</a> of celebrities like Judi Dench and John Cena.
However, the use of AI-generated voices has sparked controversy. Technology reviewer Marques Brownlee previously accused a company of using AI to clone his <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/10/41383093/marques-brownlee-accuses-scummy-shady-company-of-using-ai-to-copy-his-voice-with-no-repercussions">voice without permission</a>.
Azaria acknowledged that AI is improving, but he remains skeptical that it can ever fully replace human creativity. He also noted that audience preferences will ultimately dictate the future of AI in entertainment.&nbsp;
&#8220;Right now, what AI generates by itself as Moe the bartender or anything else isn't going to cut it. But if it does start to cut it, people are going to listen to it, and they're going to be grateful that it's so readily available,&#8221; the voice actor stated.

ASE Technology Holding Reported January 2025 Revenue Of $1.51B, Down By 1.3% YoY, ATM Revenue Of $857M In January 2025, Up By 7% YoY

<a href="https://cts.businesswire.com/ct/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kosmosenergy.com%2F&amp;esheet=54202629&amp;newsitemid=20250209720700&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=Kosmos+Energy&amp;index=1&amp;md5=0c87d2ce32e3afeda89b17a3cc6baee7">Kosmos Energy</a> (NYSE/LSE: KOS) today announces that first liquified natural gas (LNG) production has been achieved at the bp-operated Greater Tortue Ahmeyim (GTA) LNG project, offshore Mauritania &amp; Senegal.
On December 31, 2024, gas from the first phase of GTA started to flow from wells to the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) vessel as part of the commissioning process. At the FPSO, gas is being processed to remove any condensate, water and impurities ahead of delivery to the floating LNG vessel for liquefaction.
Gas has now been delivered to the floating LNG vessel and liquefaction has commenced. The liquefaction of gas into LNG is when Kosmos starts to recognize gas entitlement production from the project in its quarterly statements. In addition, bp has given notice to the offtaker (bp gas marketing ltd.) for an LNG carrier to arrive later this quarter to export the first LNG cargo. Lifting of the first LNG cargo is when Kosmos starts to recognize revenue and generate cash flow from the project.
Commenting on first LNG production at GTA, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Andrew G. Inglis said: "First LNG is another major milestone for Kosmos, the GTA partnership and the governments of Mauritania and Senegal. We are looking forward to the accelerated ramp-up of LNG production and the first LNG cargo lifting during the first quarter."
